Summer color dolls..:)

On very hot summer there is nothing better than crocheting dolls...

These are my new dolls..:). I still make dolls this year, since I am taking a course since mid February,
my activity on making dolls will be fewer compared the year before. I am going to find job next year. 

Wish me luck...:) 

Back to make dolls..:)

I have been busy with my children druing summer holidays. I didnot make any doll at all, I did some sewing for my hands keep busy and giving my hands break..:). This is my first quilt..:)

Then since last week my children back to school. My little one is going to primary school...:). This week the condition is settle enough...I think It is time for me to back to crochet...:)

90% Imagination and 10% Toy

Kids need to play with toys that dont require push buttons! A good toy is 90% children and only 10% toy.
- Susan Linn " The case for make believe".

I was so happy that last year has ended with happy ending. I got a feedback email from my customer. He send me the pictures how his son played with the doll that he bought in Wattle Festival. I asked his permission and he let me show the pictures of his creative son.

The owlets flied to Frankston

I almost forget to tell you about the owlets. I send them to Franskton. My customer asked me to make christmast gifts. I made red and white stripe and the head with every color that I have. So It is a quick trick to made people think about christmas. Luckyly I got narrow ribbon that has red and white stripe to hang them.

If you need them just pop to Jam and Cream Cafe. I wont appear in any craft market after Spring market in Rosanna. See you on "some where" craft market  in middle of next year....:).  Now I think I need a rest to get fresher ideas....:).
